On Friday, March 9 from 10 am-3 pm, Beijing United Family Hospital will be holding a blood drive for all of you out there who have healthy blood to spare and want to add some goodwill to the universe. Donating costs you only 200 ml of blood (about 5% of your total blood supply) and could save a life.

General criteria for blood donors:
1. Be between 18 and 55 years old;
2. Have not donated blood within the last 6 months;
3. Weigh over 45 kg (women) or 55 kg (men).

Please keep in mind:
The day before you donate, please try to eat light and healthy food in order to avoid excessive fat buildup in your blood, which may result in disqualification for donation;
Remember to bring your official photo ID or passport.
